Help with strings and configs

So, I have a concept for a new plugin, but I was wondering how I can get multiple strings from a config file. Like, say we were using SimpleAlias, how do I get lines that may or may not be there?so far I have this in the config:

Code:

blockedWords:
  -bleep
  -bleepity

And here's what I have for java code:

Code:

.replace(getConfig().getString("blockedWords"), "*****");

What comes before the .replace is just a chat listener. Anyways, not that I've tested this, I was just wondering about it.

 

1Achmed1 Uhrm, just do List<String> list = (List) config.get("blockedWords"); since it's just a List? Or maybe this works too : List<String> list = config.getList("blockedWords"); and then just use the chatlistener, loop trough the words, if the list contains one of the words then just replace it.

I look like an idiot.

EDIT: I have experience developing bukkit plugins but none in java xD. Well, minus some things like vars and $htuff
